Every two weeks, we accompany the Roadmapupdate with a brief explanatory note to give you insight into the decision-making that led to any changes. This is part of an effort to make our communications more transparent, more specific, and more insightful for all of you who help to make Star Citizen and Squadron 42 possible.
Just a reminder: The 1.0 column showcases features and content planned for inclusion in or before Star Citizen 1.0. This means you may not have to wait for the 1.0 release to experience them. As features/content in the 1.0 column become ready, they will migrate left into a point patch column for release.
Be sure to check back every two weeks for the latest updates.
With that, let’s dive into this week’s Roadmap Roundup!

Happy Monday, y'all!
The 'verse started buzzing last week over the announcement of DefenseCon 2956, bigger, badder, and more bodacious than ever! The party kicks off May 14 at the Bevic Convention Center in Area18, ArcCorp. Whether you're hunting for your next daily driver or just want to kick the tires for free, this one's worth the trip. Keep an eye on Spectrum and upcoming Comm-Links as we get closer to the expo.
The Bar Citizen tour kept rolling strong this past Saturday with a stop in Xi’an, China, and this was one we’ll never forget. The community packed the venue for a full day of Q&As, clay ship sculpting, F8C coloring, exploring community booths, and some intensely competitive Remote Control STV racing.
The organizers also put together a full ARG that ran throughout the day, with attendees solving challenges and piecing together a storyline centered around the UEE and Xi’an coming together, with a little interference from XenoThreat along the way. Activities across the venue tied into the experience, ultimately leading to a reveal of something new coming from Origin Jumpworks.
To everyone who came out, thank you. Truly. Events like these are a powerful reminder of why we build what we build, and Xi’an made that clearer than ever. The 'verse is global, and we could not be more grateful for the welcome you gave us.
Now, let’s take a look at what’s coming up this week:
Tuesday brings May’s Subscriber Comm-Link and Newsletter, along with the latest Subscriber flair.
Wednesday delivers the newest Roadmap Update and Roadmap Roundup, keeping you up to speed on what’s ahead in development. The Org Spotlight Comm-Link also drops, highlighting standout orgs across the ‘verse that are actively recruiting. Whether you're searching for fellow industrialists or gearing up for tactical operations in 4.8, there’s a crew out there for you. We also see the April PU Monthly Report dropping, giving a look at what the dev teams worked on for Star Citizen last month.
Thursday features a new episode of Inside Star Citizen, taking a closer look at Alpha 4.8, covering new features, improvements, and everything shaping the next major update.
Friday sees the weekly RSI Newsletter land straight in your inbox, packed with news and highlights you won’t want to miss. Be sure to opt in via your account settings. Also on Friday, the Star Citizen Vehicles & Gameplay Q&A we recorded for the Xi'an Bar Citizen is going live for the whole 'verse.
Saturday, the Bar Citizen tour continues with events in Seoul, South Korea, and Paris, France, a great opportunity to meet members of the team and connect with fellow pilots. Check out the details for locations and times.
Before I let you go, I want to take a moment to introduce myself to those who don’t know me yet. I’m Travis, though many of you may already know me as Big T-O. I’ve spent the last six years on the Concierge team, so there’s a good chance we’ve already met, whether through a ticket or out in the wild at an event. Now I’m stepping into a new role as Community Manager, working directly with this amazing community, and I couldn’t be more excited.

Do you remember your first 30 minutes in Star Citizen? The first time you woke up in a city, looked around, and realized just how massive the 'verse felt? Maybe it was confusing. Maybe overwhelming. Or maybe it was that quiet moment where everything suddenly clicked.

Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan
Alpha 4.7.2 rolled out last week, bringing even more life to the growing Nyx system! With nearly 100 new contracts across 13 mission archetypes, there’s plenty to keep you busy whether you’re just getting started in Nyx or expanding your usual routes. We’re aware of issues currently affecting the availability of some courier missions, and the teams are actively working on a solution. As always, we appreciate your reports and feedback.
We also published a new Roadmap Update, with Alpha 4.8 continuing to take shape and the Evocati already testing early content as we prepare the first PTU waves. Highlights include new gear like the UltiFlex "Novia" Crossbow and a new plasma grenade, the Anvil Hammerhead gold standard pass, expanded refueling gameplay and missions, the new Transport System, Ship Hangar Service, new hairstyles and flight suits with G-force resistance, and Tactical Strike Groups, a new cooperative ship combat experience. Head to the Release View to take a closer look at what’s in progress.
Over the weekend, our team had an incredible time hosting a booth on the LVL UP EXPO show floor, where thousands of attendees stopped by to try their hand at space flight, surrounded by a lively mix of cosplay, giveaways, and nonstop energy. For many, it was their very first step into the ‘verse, and getting to witness those initial reactions first-hand is always a huge treat for us. We went in expecting our Community to show up in force, so we designed the space to feel like a hybrid hangout, part expo booth and part social hub, complete with bean bag chairs and room to hang out.
What truly stood out was how many of you didn’t just visit... you jumped in and helped make the booth what it was. Throughout the day, you welcomed new pilots, answered their questions, and guided them through their first moments in the ‘verse right alongside us. You effectively became an extension of the team, sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with anyone who stopped by. Watching that in action and seeing everyone just geek out together created something really special on the show floor. It was a powerful reminder of what makes this community so damn awesome. Thank you.
If you couldn't make it, you can still take part in the CLX Gaming PC Giveaway, running until May 4. Five winners will walk away with an Aurora Mk II with LTI, and the grand prize winner takes home the full CLX Gaming PC build.
We also wanted to give a huge shoutout to the United Danes Initiative, a grassroots collective spanning multiple orgs, who organized and ran a community booth at Gamebox Festival in Herning, Denmark this past weekend! The booth featured a sim pit, FPS station, clay modeling, a Vanduul Swarm competition, a loot hunt across the festival showfloor, and more. Saturday night also brought a Bar Citizen, with players joining from across Scandinavia, Germany, and even the Netherlands, with plans already forming to go even bigger next time. You never stop amazing us!
Now, let’s take a look at what’s coming up this week:
This Wednesday, we'll be sharing a few details about the upcoming DefenseCon 2956 to help you prepare for the festivities. You may have already caught the recent SSN/CATV Newsflash interviewing Drake Interplanetary's CEO, Anden Arden, offering a glimpse at what's to come this year. Stay tuned!
This Friday, the latest RSI Weekly Newsletter lands in your inbox. If you’re not subscribed yet, you can sign up at any time through your account settings.
Looking ahead to the weekend, we're excited to join a Bar Citizen event taking place in Xi’an, China. This year’s theme is "a friendly visit between UEE and Xi’an", setting the stage for a unique celebration bringing cultures together. If you are in the area, head over to the Gaoxin International Conference Center on Saturday, May 2, to meet fellow Citizens, our developers, and take part in the festivities.
And finally, push your limits with XGR Divisions this Sunday, a premier F1-style racing series. Signups are open, so get your Origin 350R ready for the cold mountains of microTech on the New Babbage City Tour track.

Happy Monday, everyone!
Last week, the crafting and inventory teams joined us on Star Citizen Live, diving into your questions, what's already in your hands, and what's still on the way. If you missed it, the VOD is up on YouTube. We also saw the release of the April Monthly Bundle on Tuesday.
This week, Alpha 4.7.2 continues the expansion of the Nyx System following the introduction of QV Breaker Stations and social hubs in 4.7. Nearly 100 new contracts are coming online across 13 archetypes, including the return of entry-level favorites like 'Courier' and 'Delivery Pilot' for anyone looking to get their start in transport. Some of these contracts also introduce new gameplay opportunities to Nyx, with select missions offering unique blueprint rewards.
Looking ahead, Evocati testing for Alpha 4.8 is right around the corner. If all goes to plan, Wave 1 could open before the end of the week, with additional waves following shortly after. We're also preparing a new Tech Preview build featuring Instancing in the coming days.
Now, let's see what's going on this week:
Wednesday will see Alpha 4.7.2 arriving with a host of new contracts and returning favorites for the Nyx System.
Wednesday also brings the Roadmap Update and Roadmap Roundup, your regular window into where development stands and what's on the horizon.
Friday will have the latest RSI Newsletter zip into your inbox with your weekly hit of what's happening across the 'verse. And Subscribers, your Jump Point April issue will be headed your way on May 2.
This weekend, April 24 through 26, we're heading to LVL UP EXPO at the Las Vegas Convention Center with AMD and CLX Gaming. We'll have a Star Citizen booth on the show floor, with members of the dev team on hand all weekend to meet, chat, and get you in-game.
Across all three days, you can jump into Vanduul Swarm at stations set up with awesome hardware from both Virpil and Tobii, check out the custom CLX Gaming PC being given away, and take part in absolutely no shortage of giveaways. Be sure to stop by the booth to earn extra entries for the PC, with even more available if you show up in cosplay. We'll also be hosting a Bar Citizen as part of the official LVL UP EXPO afterparty on Saturday night, so grab your tickets and we'll see you all there!
On the other side of the Atlantic, the Danish community has organized and is hosting a booth at Gamebox Festival in Herning this weekend, with plenty to check out, followed by a Bar Citizen on Saturday. We'll have a few team members dropping in to spend some time with everyone, and we hope to see you there!

Every month, the subscriber-only Jump Point publication includes profiles of locations and companies in the Star Citizen universe. Subscribers recieve these reports first, with a general release further down the line. Today we’re proud to share the article on Anvil Aerospace, designer of the Hornet fighter. This month’s Jump Point, available Friday, will include profiles of Roberts Space Industries and Earth!
Inhalte von externen Seiten werden ohne Ihre Zustimmung nicht automatisch geladen und angezeigt.
Anvil Aerospace is one of the earliest Terran success stories. Founded in 2772, Anvil has been reliably delivering military-grade equipment to the UEE Navy for almost two centuries. The initial Anvil skunkworks facility was located in Nova Kyiv, Terra, and the company’s headquarters are still there. For the first seventy-odd years of Anvil’s existence, every design project was personally lead by company founder J.Harris Arnold. Arnold, an eccentric spacecraft designer of the old school who insisted on signing off on every part of his designs’ subsystems, was a beloved figure in an otherwise cutthroat industry.Today, Anvil has factories on three dozen UEE core worlds … but continues to source all systems itself and requires that the standing CEO sign off on every spacecraft alteration.
The company’s moniker comes from a quote in Robert Calvin’s famous early justification for UEE expansion, explaining that military spending “fuels the furnaces of expansion and strikes the anvils of innovation.” There’s little argument: fueling the furnaces of expansion is exactly what Anvil has been doing since Day One.The company has produced dozens of successful and iconic military spacecraft over the years, including the Hurricane, Osprey, Devastator, Hornet and Gladiator.No military campaign in the last two centuries has been launched without Anvil spacecraft in the forefront, and no carrier in UEE space today operates without at least a squadron of Anvil-designed fighters. In fact, Anvil designs have historically scored more space-to-space kills than any other military spacecraft.Hornets, in particular, have destroyed more enemy hardware (measured in star credits) than all other current Navy space fighter designed combined.

Civilian Craft
Anvil’s civilian line is relatively new, a decision that many at the company initially resisted. The general feeling was that producing civilian grade versions of dedicated military spacecraft would dilute the brand: Anvil’s carefully maintained position as the tip of the spear would be in danger. Debate over the issue became so protracted that it threatened to split the company into two separate groups, with the civilian wing formally licensing the military designs. This was ultimately all for naught, as the UEE government stepped into the debate with a surprising resolution: they actually favored the concept of supplying military-styled weaponry to civilians, especially on the distant frontiers. A home defense militia squadron of slightly-less-than-milspec but still fearsome Hornets, it was reasoned, would make a better deterrent than a squad of Drake Cutlasses.
The process of civilianizing a design like the Hornet is more complex than it seems: UEE military secrecy laws mean that, on average, 60% of the hardware in a given spacecraft simply cannot be offered to the public. Some of these replacements — like milspec Gatling guns — would be expected and relatively easy to re-source in a modern modular design … but these requirements also govern systems as innocuous as rudder pedal boot locks or rubber cockpit sealing strips. Design teams must effectively work double-blind, replacing existing systems without being given access to their military equivalents.In some cases, designers must reconstruct subsystems based solely on publicly available holographs … while the team that designed the original systems operates next door, wholly unaware.
Civilianizing top-of-the-line military spacecraft is a frustrating process, but one that has proved ultimately valuable for Anvil: company profits rose 34% after the first civilian model Hornet (the F7C) was made available, with no perceptible tarnishing of the Anvil brand. Rather, the idea that you could own a “military” ship immediately became something of a status symbol, driving the resale value of Hornets and successive conversions; civilian Hornets have essentially (and unexpectedly) become a luxury brand. Anvil’s civilian equivalents sell both to actual paramilitary units on the frontier desperately in need of rugged hardware and to rich homeworlds industrialists who believe that flying a Hornet makes them top gun fighter pilots.
With both military and civilian spacecraft spending at an all-time high, Anvil’s prospects look bright. As the UEE continues to face off against a seemingly growing Vanduul threat, orders for Hornet space superiority fighters and Gladiator bombers continue to spike. Several thousand of each are delivered to front-line carriers every month, at a rate that continues to rise as additional factories can be brought online. On the civilian side, the Hornet is holding steady as the third best-selling single-seat spacecraft design available, trumped only by the Aurora and 300i.The recent civilian conversion of the Gladiator looks to be a similar success story, as the first model (Gladiator I) becomes available to the general public in the next three months.

Hello everyone, xē'suelen nyahyan
Last week, the spotlight was firmly on the backbone of the ‘verse as Captains of Industry kicked off, inviting everyone to step into the boots of the haulers, miners, and salvagers who keep everything moving. With the event running through April 27, new pilots can Fly for Free through April 20 and explore a range of careers using a curated lineup of ships. From hauling cargo across vast distances to gathering the raw materials that fuel the economy, it’s a chance to jump in and try it all firsthand for yourself.
Supporting that journey, the MISC Hull B made its debut as the next step for aspiring cargo operators. Building on the legacy of the Hull series, it expands hauling with its signature external cargo spindles and tractor-assisted loading, making it a strong choice for those ready to scale up and take on bigger contracts. We’ve also published a new episode of Behind the Ships taking a closer look at the Hull B, along with a Q&A to cover any remaining questions.
Planetside, Greycat introduced the UTV, a compact, dependable off-roader built for versatility. Whether you are scouting ahead, transporting goods, or just exploring, it’s an easy, reliable way to get around.
